I see some posts on here that are either against, adverse or just highlighting trepidation's about using commercial financing for residential deals.

It seems that more people are trying to claim adverse possession when they are in fact just squatters:http://www.wftv.com/video/23549689/index.html

Old-school masonry - be it foundation, bricks or blocks - were usually made of only lime and sand, no cement, their proportions have to be exact and they cured very slowly and could be adversely affected by water exposure early in the curing process.

Luckily I found some great college students and there hasn't been any issues but I am wondering about the nature of your tenants and if buying in this area has adversely affected your ROI, tenant pool, quality housing purchasing option, etc.Thanks!

The D-F annual stress tests (does the entity have adequate capital if adverse economic conditions arise), regulation of swap transactions (credit default swaps, and securitization generally), and securitization Risk Retention are not something everyday customers see, but GSEs need to implement to help curb 'systemic risk'.

Just carefully read the above story.Your desire for your first rental to be a huge success is understandable, but it is also just a psychological desire that doesn't correspond well to your overall success.Buy right, work hard, persist in the face of adversity.

If this house is in Texas (as you are), you CAN "claim" this this house through adverse possession.

Also the borrower is a seasoned experienced landlord with a lot of units.. not a newbie landlord just starting out. that's what we look for this is for the most conservative risk adverse investor... 1500 plus notes later its played out that way.. :)When you deal in owner occ you bring in the emotion of the family living in the house.. this can be good you can get them determined to pay but if they just can't pay you set yourself up for some pretty big risk..

If we can't handle adversity or challenges....then this is the wrong business....

To me, it was a very risk adverse and "comfy" path.
